Seeking and Finding Unconditional Love

It was a challenge for me to write this testimony, since I myself was not exactly sure how I became so in love with Jesus and so on fire with my faith. My journey towards this desire for holiness was a very gradual one, one that is 20 years in the making, and counting. I [...]

The Ultimate Choice

My name is Judith Ameresekere, and I just finished my first year in psychology at SFU. If you had asked me two months ago to tell you about God I would have said that He’s this big guy up in heaven that only does things on Earth when He feels like it. I was told [...]

Only a Coincidence

My name is Raffaele Salvino. I was born and raised Catholic, went to Catholic elementary school, and knew my catechism well. Jesus, to me, was a fact, which needed no questioning.

Trust: Is it in you?

When I moved here to Vancouver to join CCO at SFU, I didn’t know what my life would be like. It was as if God was giving me a fresh start in a new city. Here I was with a new job, a new city, new friends and a new dynamic to my relationship with [...]

Be Not Afraid…but I used to be

“Be not afraid” – JP II quoting Jesus   My name is Ian Anderson, and I’m a full-time missionary with CCO at UBC. I started out university in Engineering, and then realized the error of my ways and converted to Kinesiology ;-D, finishing my degree in April 2010.  I’m the second oldest in a home-schooling [...]

Testimony

This weekend I will be sharing my testimony, so I thought I would post it for all to read. It was featured in the BC Catholic about a year ago….
